Offtopic..but we Mariah fans need to gather. Here’s the information being posted all over the Internet” Welcome to TeamLamb, an organized team of Maria Carey fans. Our purpose is to keep Mariah, the biggest female musical icon of all time, on top. Unfortunately, the no-talent slut, Madonna, is still being referred to as the “Queen of Pop,” even though her most recent album, American Life, and her Reinvention Tour have really made her the “Queen of Flops.” Madonna used to be successful, but that’s because she slept her way to the top. Mariah, on the other hand, has sold millions of records based solely on her amazing talents and being a great role model. Mariah has had sixteen number one singles. Her last two number one singles, “We Belong Together” and “Heartbreaker” have broken worldwide records everywhere. Mariah’s most recent Charmbracelet tour was a critically acclaimed smash that played to millions all over the world. Roger Friedman, a well respected music journalist, called the concert one of the greatest he’s seen in the past ten years. Mariah is, indeed, the biggest musical sensation since the Beatles. Within the next couple months, Madonna will try to take away Mariah’s crown by releasing “Confessions on a Dance Floor” along with the single, “Hung Up.” There seems to be a lot of buzz , but most of it seems generated by Madonna’s desperate, pathetic fans. TeamLamb will do everything we can to make this project a flop for Madonna. We will organize by calling radio stations and telling them how much we don’t like her new songs, write letters to several magazines and confirm that she is, indeed, over, and spread negative messages about Madonna on several Internet blogs. We will soon have an Internet site, but to instantly become a member of TeamLamb, please send an email. You can also dedicate money for my site through Pay Pal (use my email address as the account). It’s going to be a busy autumn with the old, aging hag, but we will bring her down!

Do you not have enough faith in Mariah’s talent to let her succeed without attempting’, ‘to destroy her only opposition? Madonna has been in the business for a while and you’re efforts are not gonna make her retire. And also Madonna’s tour was the biggest grossing tour of the year-worldwide, how is that a flop? I don’t even like Madonna, but I give her credit where it is do–she has had a long, successful career and she deserves praise and acknowledgement for that. Also judging from how successful Mariah’s career has been, she is not suffering from a little competition. Frankly the music industry would be very boring without competition.

What a load of shi@. Mariah must have you on her pay roll. >’, ‘Madonna’s tour grossed over 125 million on 55 sold out shows. Madonna’s tour broke house records across the globe. Mariah’s tour on the other hand did far ,far less and she even had to downgrade due to slow sales. Mariah has never came close to achieving what Madonna has on tour. Also you state “American Life” was a bomb? The album sold over 7 million copies, debuted at #1 across the globe and spawned 4 hit singles. No other female artist comes close to Madonna’s chart success either. With over 250 million albums sold, more top 5,10,20,30,40 hit singles than any other female artist just in the US alone, she has more #1 singles in the world than any other female artist (Excluding the Billboard USA hot 100)- and that is without the huge discounted singles that Mariah has done. Madonna has 35 #1 dance singles-maxi-singles. NO one even comes close. She is according to Genesis and Billboard “the #1 female vocalist of the entire rock era.” Mariah has had albums bomb far worse than anything Madonna has ever released. Madonna has the most certified (RIAA) singles by a female artist -Gold, Platinum, or Multi-Platinum singles. Madonna has sold more singles in the US than any other female ever. •Madonna’s The Immaculate Collection is the highest selling greatest hits album ever by a female artist with estimated worldwide sales of over 23 million copies. •In 2004 Madonna became one of the five founding members of the UK Music Hall of Fame, joining Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Bob Marley, and U2 as automatic inductees. •Madonna is the richest female singer in the world with an estimated net worth of over $850 million. Madonna has 6 No. 2 singles on Billboard’s Hot 100 Singles Chart, the most for a female artist, tying her with Elvis Presley for the record• Madonna is the most successful act in the history of MTV’s Video Music Awards with an all time record 67 VMA nominations and 19 VMA wins. And the list goes on and on and on. People have been saying that Madonna was over for years and she keeps on selling, keeps on going. She is the queen of pop, she earned that title much more than any other female artist. Madonna paved the way for the likes of Mariah. And you lambs need to stop being so damn jealous over Madonna and get a life. The only artist you can even compare Madonna to is Elvis.

Boring? Why boring? There shouldn’t be any competition anyway…’, ’cause the people that get compared to one another, have nothing in common professionally, they usually get compared based on stupid things such as age, or hair color, or time they entered the industry.

Great and truthful points. Why can’t the lambs leave her Magisty alone?’, ‘Because there is always somebody else wanting the crown. Elvis still has his, I’d say Madonna will keep hers. She is far from retiring and her catalog is still selling well. And when she is gone, she will still sell -even more so just like Elvis does.

please mariah fans like you give her a bad name… Madonna is the queen, but mariah’, ‘has undeniable amazing talent… personally I think their music is way different from eachother. Comments like the one posted above make me sick. That is pathetic attempt to keep your idol relevant…. why don’t you just let things go as they are supposed to. Haha you are going to try calling radio stations, write letters, and spread negative messages to stop the airplay? Fu*king pathetic! Grow up you sad loser. Insecure that someone else is going to take the limelight? That is sad that you are setting up a paypal service to try and keep down Madonna…. not that it will matter anyway… Confessions on A Dancefloor is highly anticipated and its all radio friendly dance music. Something that she knows very well how to do.
